You can use the clipping tool to cut off a corner, or you can shear the brushes. It's good to have 'snap to grid' turned on, as it makes aligning brushes easier.

Perhaps that helps you somewhat?

If you'd like to get it exact, I recommend using the vertex manipulation tool. It's going to have to be made of three brushes because a single brush in Source can never be concave. Simply make one short brush in the center, then for the outer two, use the vertex manipulation tool to move out their lower corners, these brushes unlike concave brushes are perfectly fine, and the engine won't cut them out. They can even block vis if you don't make 'em an entity!
